Incident date:

Location: 
Наранхито
Puerto Rico

Local resident Reinaldo Ortega saw a giant bird-like creature standing on the roof of his house. Ortega went to look for a small goat on his territory, as the epidemic of animal injuries continued. 

Ortega described a winged creature between three and four feet (0.9-1.2 m) tall, with the body and thick dark plumage of an eagle, a thick neck, and piercing red eyes. The nightmare predator had an even more peculiar characteristic; instead of a beak, it had a wolf's face. The creature somewhat resembled the mythological "griffin".

The creature apparently ignored Ortega and flew away. Around the same time, animals were maimed in the area.

Summary:  A local resident, Reynaldo Ortega saw a gigantic bird like creature standing on the roof of his house. Ortega had gone to look for a small goat on his property, since the epidemic of animal mutilations was ongoing. Ortega described the winged oddity as a creature between three and four feet tall, with the body and dense dark plumage of an eagle, a thick neck, and piercing red eyes. The nightmarish raptor had an even more peculiar characteristic; it had a wolf-like muzzle instead of a beak. The creature somehow resembled the mythological “griffin”. The creature apparently ignored Ortega and flew away. There had been animal mutilations in the area around the same time.
